Responsible Banking Starts with Our People and Supports Society

Our people are the foundation of responsible banking.

At CrediaBank, everything starts with our people. Without their dedication, knowledge, and values, no strategy or plan can be realized. For this reason, we are committed to fostering an environment of equal opportunities, supporting their health and well-being, and investing in their continuous development. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and fair workplace that embraces diversity, ensures equal treatment, and respects differences.

At the same time, we are dedicated to supporting society, implementing initiatives with positive social and environmental impact, and providing our clients with transparency, reliability, and trust.

With our people at the center, we build responsible banking every day—banking that supports society and the economy.

The Role of ESG

All these actions are not merely internal initiatives—they are part of the broader ESG framework and the Group’s international commitments.

Through our compliance with the CSRD Directive and the European Reporting Standards, we transparently record and disclose our actions concerning our workforce, society, and clients.

Our approach is based on the concept of Double Materiality, recognizing both the positive impact we can have on people and society, as well as the risks arising from social and labor-related challenges, so that we can mitigate them promptly and effectively.

Working conditions & Equal opportunities for all without discrimination

At CrediaBank, we are committed to creating a work environment that upholds ethical standards and promotes respect and equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender, race, color, ethnic or social origin, genetic characteristics, language, religion or beliefs, political opinion or any other opinion, membership in a national minority, property, birth, disability, age, or sexual orientation.

The signing of the Diversity Charter for Greek Businesses, which actively promotes acceptance and inclusion as well as equal opportunity principles in the workplace, reinforces the Group’s commitment to a corporate culture free from discrimination and bias.

A core element of our strategy and business model is the implementation of non-discriminatory practices and measures against violence and harassment, contributing to a safe, productive, and efficient work environment.

We demonstrate zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind, adopting and applying the principle of equal opportunities for all across our activities, alongside policies that promote equality, fair treatment, and the development of our people.

The Group has established and implements policies that foster equality, fair treatment, and staff development, including:

  • Code of Ethics and Conduct

  • Compensation Policy

  • Policy Against Violence & Harassment

  • Training & Human Capital Development Policy

  • Policy for Handling Named & Anonymous Reports & Complaints

CrediaBank places employee Health and Safety at the center of its strategy, demonstrating its commitment through specific initiatives, including:

  • Provision of health insurance

  • Creation of a mental health support line

  • Training on health and safety topics

  • Ensuring workplaces meet all necessary health and safety standards

Through these actions, the well-being of our workforce is enhanced.

At the same time, the Group monitors health and safety standards while providing related training, contributing to the creation of a safe and supportive work environment.

The Group continuously trains and develops its employees through targeted programs, focusing on key areas for sustainable growth, such as:

  • Human resources topics, including awareness on combating violence and harassment, the Code of Ethics and Conduct, human rights, inclusion and equality issues, and more

  • Our goal is to build trust every day, placing respect, safety, and reliable service at the center of our customer relationships.

Supporting Society & Sustainable Development Programs

We actively support society through initiatives that leave a positive impact on people, local communities, and the environment.

Through multi-level initiatives, we empower vulnerable groups, invest in education and equality, and support programs that contribute to sustainable development.

We provide tangible support to the primary sector with a focus on sustainability.

Within the framework of our collaboration with the “New Agriculture, New Generation” organization, we actively strengthen the primary sector under sustainable terms. Specifically, in 2024, we supported four small and medium-sized enterprises from the Crete region through the business acceleration program “Agroanelixi”, contributing to their development via mentoring, access to financial knowledge, and connection with investment tools.

In June 2025, we organized an interactive Masterclass titled “Basic Financial Concepts and Green Financing”, in collaboration with Professor Nikolaos Filippas, tailored to the needs of small agricultural businesses.

We are committed to continuing to support local entrepreneurship, enhancing access to knowledge and sustainable financing tools.
